Kansas City Chiefs (11-4) @ Cincinnati Bengals (9-6)
Lines: KC -4.0 // O/U 51
Vincenzo: Bengals
James: Chiefs
Ryan: Chiefs -4
Zach: Chiefs
Patrick: Bengals
Maher: Chiefs
Nick: Chiefs
Who remembers freaking out after week 7 when the Chiefs were 3-4? Well they haven't lost since and are the first team to clinch a playoff berth in the AFC. Mahomes and this offense have been going nuclear lately scoring 34+ in their past three games. Their O-Line has been the biggest surprise this season with rookie center Creed Humphrey playing at an all pro level, securing his status as one of the biggest steals in this year's draft. Anyone saying they had Cincy as the AFC North leaders heading into week 17 is a pure liar. Joe Burrow has led a top 10 offense all season with dangerous weapons at every level, picking apart the KC secondary is the key for this young Bengals squad.
Arizona Cardinals (10-5) @ Dallas Cowboys (11-4)
Lines: DAL -6.0 // O/U 52.5
Vincenzo: Cowboys
James: Cowboys
Ryan: Cardinals
Zach: Cowboys
Patrick: Cowboys -6
Maher: Cowboys
Nick: Cowboys
Okay also remember when the Cardinals were undefeated after 7 weeks and the entire league was terrified of Kyler Murray in January? That same team is currently 5th in the NFC on a 3 game losing streak with major holes in their secondary. The Cowboys score the most points in the league thus far and have dominated the turnover differential. Micah Parsons is a legit defensive player of the year candidate in his rookie season and has done a phenomenal job leading this massively improved Dallas defense. This potential playoff matchup is going to have huge implications on the race for playoff home field advantage.
Los Angeles Rams (11-4) @ Baltimore Ravens (8-7)
Lines: LAR -6.0 // O/U 47
Vincenzo: Rams -6
James: Rams
Ryan: Rams
Zach: Rams
Patrick: Ravens
Maher: Rams
Nick: Rams
The Rams find themselves in a solid position to sneak their way into the 2 seed in the NFC with a Lamar-less Ravens matchup this week. Sony Michel has proved his worth while the Rams deal with an injury riddled backfield as the former Patriot has had multiple 100 yard performances for LA. Their defense is looking like it will finish top 5 again, fueling this current 4 game win streak. The Ravens are in a tough spot as injuries have absolutely derailed their season, their limp across the finish line is for their playoff hopes as they find themselves right on the bubble heading into the final two weeks.
Philadelphia Eagles (8-7) @ Washington Football Team (6-9)
Lines: PHI -4.0 // O/U 45
Vincenzo: Eagles
James: Eagles
Ryan: WFT
Zach: Eagles
Patrick: Eagles
Maher: Eagles -4
Nick: Eagles
The Eagles caught fire right at the perfect time as they’re riding a 3 game winning streak averaging 32 points a game in that span. Their defense has ranked amongst the top 10 this season, if they can find a way to limit the turnovers they have the talent in the trenches to sneak their way into the playoffs. Washington was a major disappointment this season as they were never able to truly stay healthy and have looked inconsistent when they did have their studs on the field. After an embarrassing loss to the Cowboys last week on primetime I’m sure Riverboat Ron and the boys would love to play spoiler to their division rival. Heinicke vs. Hurts on Sunday.
Miami Dolphins @ Tennessee Titans
Lines: TEN -3.0 // O/U 40
Vincenzo: Dolphins
James: Titans -3
Ryan: Titans
Zach: Titans -3
Patrick: Titans
Maher: Dolphins
Nick: Dolphins
The Dolphins have quietly been one of the hottest teams in football. They started off the year 1-7 looking like clear cellar dwellers. Miami hasn’t lost since. Tua and co have had both a 7 game losing streak and a 7 game winning streak this year, and head into week 17 with a chance to shock the world and bid for a playoff spot if they can take out the AFC south leading Titans. Tennessee pulled off a remarkable come from behind victory last Thursday and are one win away from securing their playoff status and maybe a guaranteed home game or two in the process. Tannehill is going to need to keep finding AJ Brown early as Julio is expected to be out and the running game hasn’t been able to keep pace without King Henry.
